Imperialism

Island Of Madagascar was colonized and controlled by Britain

i don't know specifics, but the reasoning for colonizing anything is to claim it as your own. claiming land gives you the "right" to call it your own (even though there are natives there) and you then establish control and power. if France "controls" land; they can tax it and build trade ports to benefit their home country.

Infantilization of indigenous peoples

European interest in colonies declined in between the late 1700's and the late 1800's because most nationalists felt that because so many people were emigrating to the colonies they break their ties with their homeland.

Abel Tasman was the first to sight both countries but Captain James Cook was the first to land. Of course there were numerous native tribes there for hundreds of years (the Australian Aborigines and New Zealand Maori). Incidentally, James Cook did not discover Australia, nor was he the first to land there, but he was the first to land on both countries.

The three general factors fueling the imperialist policy in the 1880s are social, economic, and political imperialism.

Some of the pros and cons for European imperialism in Africa are; pros-better trade routes and access to supplies, cons-Europeans paid no attention to cultural differences or tribal land boundaries.

The motives for imperialism in Africa is that Africa was considered primitive and left uncolonized by the Mother Countries. Africa was a battlefield for the Mother Countries for any raw materials, because the Mother Countries were running low of raw materials after the industrial revolution.

The goals of 19th and 20th century Imperialism were very often related to the European belief that Europeans were both racially and morally superior to others, particularly Africans. Europeans invaded Africa with the purpose of instilling Christianity into natives as well as introducing western ideas in education, medicine, hygiene, and monogamous marriage. The colonization of Africa was also of commercial interest (which was greatly expanded due to the Industrial Revolution during this time period). Africa provided European manufacturers with cheap labor, raw materials, and a ready market to purchase their products.

I'm not sure what it is in terms of land mass but if you said based on 53 countries 2 were independent in 1914 (Ethiopia & Liberia) so 96% was colonized.

- Actually Liberia was also colonised, just not by a European power. It was colonised by freed USA slaves in 1822. A Liberian Colonization Society was set up to facilitate. These freed slaves would later be known as Americo-Liberians and until 1980 they were the only Liberians allowed to vote in elections.

Only Ethiopia was never colonised, although was briefly occupied by Italy before World War II.

CAR - France

Kenya - Britain

South Africa has always been independent although Lesotho and Swaziland was colonized by Britain

I think that must have been the Dutch. They had a small settlement they called "kaap de goede hoop" or Cape of good hope. It was a place where the Dutch ships took in food and supplies before continuing from Europe to the East-Indies.

Mostly the British and the French colonized Africa. The French were located mostly in the North and West mainly the so-called Gold Coast countries, whereas the English colonized mostly East Africa, from Egypt to South Africa.

Other colonizing countries were Belgium, which ended up 'owning' the Congo after their king - who had colonized it as a private undertaking - left it to the State on his death. Germany also held a few colonies - Somalia among them - mostly for reasons of status.

It turned out to be a costly undertaking. Contrary to popular belief, many colonies were reluctantly created, often for strategic reasons (the British wanting control of the sea route to India) or purely for "La gloire" as in the case of France. Both countries on balance had to spend more money on developing and administrating their colonies than they got out in produce, and after the in total 70 years of colonization, they and other Western countries spent about 3 trillion dollars on Africa in development aid.

a bacteria colony is the same as a colony that is found in bacteria and fungus begins to form once you've seen a colony.

Imperialism helped bcause both countries wanted to persuade each other to do what they wanted the other to do and they wouldnot so they each got mad and started to fight.

There are a lot of reasons but i think the main reason was that the French king wanted more power

The imperial government of china was made up of different dynasty. The government was headed by an emperor, or sometimes an empress. Many Chinese rulers believed in the Mandate of Heaven. This idea meant that Heaven had chose the particular dynasty to rule. When something bad happened they thought that it was a sign that Heaven was displeased. The imperial dynasties lasted from 221 BC (B.C.E, Before common era) to 1644 AD. (C.E, Common era)

Until the development of adhesives made from petroleum or coal-tar derivatives, glues were made from animal or plant materials.

Imperialism played a role in World War I. After the unification of Germany, it had began to acquire colonies it had not been able to do before it undergone unification, and showed signs of empire building. Unfortunately, the British and the French did not welcome the competition, and part of the reason for World War I was their efforts to halt the development of a strong Germany.

Imperialism was successful starting in the 1500's to the middle part of the 20th century because the industrialized nations of Europe, including the Soviet Union, had the military forces to control the populations that occupied the regions they colonized. The Colonization was also successful because these nations had the money necessary to bribe any native leaders in these colonized nations. The persistence of the imperialists continued as long as it did because the natural resources of the nations controlled by, for the most part, European nations, funded the occupation and still sent wealth to the home countries of the the aggressors. As the USA gained strength, it became part of this imperialist movement although the USA was a "come lately" party in this. It is recognized that imperialism does not need to mean colonialism. With force or the threat of force, Western nations could control the behavior of less powerful nations. Again, to a certain extent bribery or the inferred bribery of the local leaders was a big plus in the success of imperialism. it should also be recognized that Asian nations such as Japan can also fit into the category of imperialism. In Japan's case, force was the primary weapon used.

If someone were to class "communism" as a form of "imperialism" then yes that was one of the causes of the Vietnam War. The French Indochina War (1st Indochina War) was "basically" a war of imperialism; and had NOT the Viet Minh been backed by the communists, the US would have probably stayed clear of that conflict. But since the now (then) North Vietnamese were COMMUNISTS, and clearly supported by the Communist Superpowers, and we, the US, were a "pledged enemy" of communism; WE had to stop the attempted conquest of SOUTH Vietnam. It was only the geography of the land, and the fear of starting World War III (the involvement of the Communist Superpowers-as had happened in the Korean War when Red China entered into it) that prevented us from saving the South.

Poor country... A lot of slavery.
